The domed telescopes at the Observatory will be free to look through, and as always, the telescopes on the deck will be free as well. (There’s still an admission fee of $7 to the park itself). There will be lectures on astronomy and space science, Challenger Center flight simulations, safe solar observing, and free information on astronomy clubs in the area and other activities.

I know the current forecast for Saturday doesn’t look great, but I’m crossing my fingers. After all, I’ll be there as one of many volunteers, manning my telescope. So if you can, come on out to the park and say hi.
